An Essential Reflection on the Future of Work
Gather ’round, folks! We’re diving deep into the not-so-mysterious world of work—where coffee breaks are a sacred ritual and spreadsheets are akin to a rite of passage. Oh, but wait! Before you nod off, there’s a shiny documentary by Samuel Durand to be unveiled, tackling the age-old question: Why do we work? Is it for the love of the job, or just to afford that fifth takeaway this week? Either way, it’s time to reassess our relationship with our 9-to-5s (or, as some prefer, 9-to-never).
This documentary challenges everything! Fasten your seatbelts, engage your minds, and prepare for existential crises as we explore the insatiable motivations that push us to sit at desks when really, we could be at home binge-watching nature documentaries about people sitting at desks.
A Panel of Internationally Renowned Experts in Madrid
Now, after the filmic straight talk, we’ll roll into a table ronde—and yes, that’s fancy French for “group chat,” but way more sophisticated! This will feature a panel of leaders from titans like BBVA, Vodafone, Danone, Kering, and Cirque du Soleil—yes, the circus, because nothing says “business strategy” like juggling flaming swords while managing a team of acrobats!
- Bulent Bayram – Former HR director of Vodafone. He’s done a lot more than just keep the lights on!
- Elena Sierra – Talent & Culture BP at BBVA. You know, because culture in business isn’t just about casual Fridays anymore.
- Thierry Barlet – Founder of Blue Ocean Entrepreneurs. Which is either innovative or just a really weird cult.
- Barbara Loyer – Founder of Bee Leadership. Because what could possibly be better than modeling business strategy around bees? Sure, they’re great at team work, but watch out for the swarming…
These contrarians of corporate culture will be dishing up wisdom on transforming organizational strategies and the new Sherlock Holmes level of expectations employees have these days. Spoiler alert: it’s got nothing to do with Hayley’s Comet or making copies.
